Lentil soup | The Wandering Kitchen
https://gypsychef.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/lentil-soup
Simple food for complex lives. January 18, 2008. Yeah, I haven’t posted in a while. Lots of cooking, not lots of posting. The return can be credited to Miz Cindy and her request for a lentil soup recipe. This makes a lot of soup. It works quite well frozen in tupperware and eaten for work lunches. Good with cheese muffins – for those, take any muffin recipe (like the oaty muffins. Lentil soup with spinach and sage. Medium-ish onion, diced. Couple cloves of garlic, diced or pressed or whatever. Pour in th...

Simple food for complex lives. Bread and other basics. February 23, 2009. Originally posted on travelingkitchen.blogspot.com. A while back I typed the words, “What should I do with my life? 8221; into a Google search and came up with this book. I credit Mark Bittman. And his famed no-knead white bread. No-knead whole wheat bread. 2 cups whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup whole grain dark rye flour. 1/2 cup all purpose flour. 1 slightly heaping teaspoon instant yeast (1/2 a package). 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.

Turkey and greens enchiladas | The Wandering Kitchen
https://gypsychef.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/turkey-and-greens-enchiladas
Simple food for complex lives. Turkey and greens enchiladas. September 3, 2008. Turkey and greens enchiladas. I’ve made enchiladas about a dozen different ways, and none of them are particularly authentic. Not that I’ve ever made any claims to any kind of authenticity, but thought I should put this up as a disclaimer. Turkey and greens enchiladas. One small onion, or half of a large onion. Several cloves of garlic (I used three, but I have a very low tolerance for garlic, so you may want to use more).

Eggplant parmesan | The Wandering Kitchen
https://gypsychef.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/eggplant-parmesan
Simple food for complex lives. January 23, 2008. Eggplant Parmesan was one of the first big, fancy-seeming meals I ever learned to make, and it remains one of my favorites – this is what I make for people I’m trying to impress. It’s relatively easy to prepare, too, albeit a little time-consuming. I think people are surprised at how few ingredients you need to make this dish…. A jar of your favorite tomato sauce (minimally chunky). A pound of shredded mozzarella cheese. A cup of plain breadcrumbs. Oh, and...

Spinach quiche | The Wandering Kitchen
https://gypsychef.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/spinach-quiche
Simple food for complex lives. September 20, 2007. A note about crusts: if you make your own, more power to you. But if not, I strongly recommend the kind that you roll out into a pie dish rather than the dry kind that comes with its own tin, because the latter burns and dries out and doesn’t taste as good. Spinach and Feta Quiche. About a cup and a half of milk. Preheat oven at 375. Put pie crust into pie pan. Crack the eggs and whisk them with the milk and the salt and pepper. Pour into the crust.

Almond cookies | The Wandering Kitchen
https://gypsychef.wordpress.com/2009/02/23/almond-cookies
Simple food for complex lives. February 23, 2009. Originally posted on travelingkitchen.blogspot.com. So, say, you make a clementine cake. Which requires a great amount of ground almonds. And now you have all these ground almonds, and are unsure what to do with them. So you scour all the Internets for almond cookie recipes, and none of them are satisfactory, so you end up mashing together the ideas from a couple different posts on allrecipes.com. 1 stick of butter, softened. 3/4 cup ground almonds. If yo...

Fun with crescent dough | The Wandering Kitchen
https://gypsychef.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/fun-with-crescent-dough
Simple food for complex lives. Fun with crescent dough. June 26, 2008. Did you know that crescent dough is the most amazing, delicious, simple ingredient ever? I bet you didn’t. I bet you thought it wasn’t good for much more than vaguely perverse-looking pigs and a blanket, and the simple crescent rolls for which it’s designed. Mushroom and Herb Crescent Dumplings. Half-pound or more of mushrooms of your choice. Small onion, chopped. A few garlic cloves, minced. Chicken Fajita Crescent Dumplings. A jalap...

Home Warranty! - Sweet Sassy Molassy!
http://redmelde.livejournal.com/234135.html
Sep 22nd, 2008 at 10:37 AM. The day has come where we have to choose a home warranty company for the new house. I've been looking over the brochures the realtor gave us for weeks, and really? They all look pretty much the same. Does anybody out there have a home warranty? You have one right? An awesome home warranty company that provides great service? Especially a company that offers an annual premium around $400/year? Since that's what the sellers are obligated to pay). 4 comments Leave a comment.
